On the weekend of May 15th, several members of the Bay Area Climbers Coalition board joined the Access Fund Conservation Team for two fun-filled days of erosion control and trail rehabilitation at Manure Pile Buttress in Yosemite National Park, ancestral land of Sierra Miwok. We worked alongside Yosemite National Park climbing rangers and climbing stewards to make the climber access path more sustainable and resistant to erosion by controlling water flow.

A beautiful day at the beach! On Saturday April 24th, the National Park Service (NPS) hosted a small group of 5 volunteers from the Bay Area Climbers Coalition (BACC) at Stinson Beach, Coast Miwok Territory, for training that would allow the BACC to run future Adopt-a-Site stewardship events. The training included a discussion of the on-going projects in the area, review of volunteer safety protocols, introductions to park staff, and a tour of the area. While the volunteers walked and talked, they also picked up trash (3.5 buckets-full or 17.5 gallons!). After the event, a few volunteers enjoyed some much deserved bouldering on the beach. This was the first event organized by our new Stinson Beach stewards Alan and Geoff, and it was a great success! Special thanks to Tracy Neal, the Volunteer-in-Parks (VIP) Coordinator for the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, and park staff Amber Van Meter and Kari Biel. We are looking forward to organizing larger events with community volunteers once local Covid-19 regulations allow for it!

Join Graham Zimmerman and Chris Wright for a presentation followed by Q&A on their first ascent of Link Sar, a climb that earned them the 2020 Piolets d'Or award for their incredible mountaineering achievement.

Mulch Madness season is here! On Sunday March 21st, a small group of 10 volunteers from the Lady Crush Crew and the BACC met up at Indian Rock Park for our second Adopt-a-Crag of 2021! The day started with introductions and acknowledgment of Indian Rock Park being on the traditional territory of the Chochenyo Ohlone people. They then worked on spreading out fresh mulch and picking up trash from the park. Some Indian Rock Park neighbors even stopped by to say hello and thank us for our efforts! Huge thanks to Lady Crush Crew for attending, and to Rebecca Taggert for helping to organize the event! Photos by Charles Futoran and Allan Alvarez
